A/N: I've been super busy as of late and I apologize for the hold up. I will post three chapters this week to make it up to everyone TT~TT
Sora POV
Everything hurts. I could barely move a muscle. My voice was damaged and I could barely speak.
I don't know how long, how many days or months I've been in this hell hole. Hell, I couldn't tell due to the lack of windows. All I know is that they come in, day in and day out, to use me as their sex puppet. What was the point I anything? I have nothing to live for now that Riku is gone. Of course I miss my friends and my family, but Riku was the one that was on my mind every second. How was I going to escape from here? Is death my only way out? The door opened slowly as I heard the loud creaking sounds it made. I was taken out of my thoughts from the abrupt slam the door made, but that didn't take me out of the dazing state I was in.
"Hey Sora, how's it going?" I saw it was the man with the eye patch kneeling in front of me. I remained silent. He removed the cigarette from in between his lips and blew smoke in to my face. He still didn't faze me as I was still stuck I my mind. It was my safe zone, away from the pain, away from them. I somehow made this with all the shock that affected me. I know I will never be the same after all of this.
"Shit, he's doing this again. Hey, Sora~" He sang putting out his cigarette on my leg. I paid it no mind and kept silent. He sucked his teeth to the lack of reaction to pain. He slapped me across the face not gaining a reaction from me still, so he called someone in the room. Neku walked in with his hands in his pocket watching me in my state. I could hear his headphones playing loud music.
"So he's back in that state again and you're disturbing me over this?" Neku got closer.
"Sora, you can't hide from us in your mind. We'll just be waiting on the other side." And on that note I felt a sharp pain in my leg that was so unbearable that I screamed. My hair was gripped as my head was held high enough to reveal my neck. I felt the item removed from my leg and placed against my throat.
"Next time you do this I'll find a better place to put this blade." The eye patch man said making me beg for him to stop. He let me go as I held my leg in pain. There was so much blood coming out I didn't have anything to stop it with. I heard the sound of a lighter being flicked open and flicked off as I coughed to the batch of smoke that filled my lungs. How many cigarettes does this guy smoke?
"Since everyone has gotten their sexual worth out of you for the time being, we're just going to mess with your pretty little head." I just glared at him and he laughed.
"Don't give me that look princess if you know what's good for you." He lifted up his jacket to reveal his gun tucked in the holster.
"I don't care. Besides, I have nothing to live for." I managed to speak.
"Then you've made my job easier." He was stopped by Neku who grabbed his hand and shook his head.
"We decided to give you a little gift for a token of our appreciation." Something was thrown at me as I shut my eyes to brace the impact. I didn't hurt. It felt like leather and smelled like…Riku? My eyes widened when I saw that it was his jacket they threw at me.
"He gave this to us the day he walked out on us." I held the jacket close to me and shook violently. Why were they doing this to me? What have I done to deserve this?
"Oh and we have more things to show you, right Neku?" Neku had his headphones blasted leaning against the wall with his eyes closed.
"Well at least I do. You wanted to know more about Riku, didn't you?" He sat by me, blowing more smoke it in my face. I coughed after inhaling it since there was no point in trying to avoid it in an enclosed room.
"Riku was a good kid, good at almost everything. Smuggling drugs with us, gang fights, you name it. He was good. He helped us out a lot, so much he could've been our leader, but he decided not to take over. Too many other things were important to him at the moment." He dumped some of the ashes on the floor beside me as I listened. Seems like they depended on him, I'm not surprised, they could use some brains on their side.
"That's where you came in. He was crazy about your ass. He didn't give a damn about us anymore. He wasn't himself afterwards. Too bad he's gone. He knows too much and so do you." Do I really know that much? They're the ones telling me these damn things. I looked back down at my leg that continued to throb from pain as blood continued to flow. I held Riku's jacket close to me over the wound ignoring whatever eye patch over there was saying. He looked at me angrily when I looked back at him and he snatched the jacket away. I tried to grab it back, but he stomped down on my stab wound.
"Next time when I'm talking to you, you better listen." He removed his foot and kicked my in my stomach making me double over lower to the floor.
"Now I'm going to ask you again, what did he tell you about his involvement with us?" Did he really think I knew anything about that?
"Riku barely opened up to me about his business. I only knew he was in a gang, that's it."I said as the guy forced me to look at him by my hair.
"Are you sure, boy?" I just kept quiet as his grip tightened on my hair. He scoffed and me before spitting his cigarette out of his mouth.
"How about we go another round? I'm sure you'll talk then." I struggled out of his grip and clung to the wall in fear. I don't want any of those creeps anywhere inside me again or anyone for that matter.
"I just told you I don't know anything else. I didn't know anything, not even his death plan." I was trembling for what was next to come. I hated this. He backed away, walking out side before coming back into the room.
"I guess another round wouldn't hurt until we get entirely sick of you, but I'd like to introduce you to a friend that will be joining us." I stared at the guy who walked in. His red spiked hair was the only thing that stood out to me other than his smirk. Those bastards, their lucky I can't take them on in these conditions. I continued to feel pathetic every moment that passes. All I could remember was seeing them close in on me again before my other mental state took my place once more.
~Dream~
I don't know where I was now, but I felt much better than before in that dump. I turned over and stretched, but I was startled by a short laugh. I turned around and my eyes widened to see the one I loved sitting on the bed beside me.
"You're just going to sleep the whole day away aren't you?" He laughed some more.
"Riku?" I sat up and he smiled patting my head. I began to cry and covered my face from him to see. He pulled my hands away and kissed them before leaning in to kiss my forehead.
"You're alive? This must be a dream, I saw you—" I was cut off when he wiped my tears away.
"I'll never leave you." He got up from the bed and signaled for me to follow him.
"Come on, let's get ready so we can go for a walk." I jumped out the bed grabbed on to him. I hugged him tightly and he embraced me back.
"What's gotten into you today?" He asked.
"I don't care if this is a dream or not, but I want to cherish this moment with you while I can." I let him go and he took me by the hand, leading me into the bathroom.
"Let's take a shower together." I blushed madly just hearing him say that. We've never really done that before and it was driving me mad just by hearing him turn the shower on. I was holding my face the whole time and he enjoyed looking at my reaction.
"Don't be shy, come over here." He pulled me onto his lap while sitting on the edge of the tub and began unbuttoning my top. I couldn't think of anything to do but watch his hands work through my clothes before working on his own. I turned away as he lifted his shirt and I bit down on my bottom lip to hold back any squeal of excitement. This dream was one of he best I had so far.
Next thing I knew we were laying here in a grassy field next to each other, pointing out cloud shapes in the sky.
"You know Sora that cloud actually looks like Mr. Strife." Riku chuckled and I slapped his arm.
"Don't talk about him around me. We're still arguing!" I pouted.
"You two make no sense what so ever!" He laughed hysterically as I began pinching his sides. This felt so real. Did I die and wake up where Riku was?
"I find it ironic in this position that Mr. Strife's first name is Cloud and your name means sky and we're pointing them out." He continued.
"Oh shush." I poked him and laid my head on his stomach.
"Hey Riku," I waited for his response before continuing.
"Will you ever get tired of me?" He gave ma a crazy expression and sat up with me on his lap now.
"How can I? You make my life an adventure with every moment I spend with you. There's a lot to explore about you and I don't think my exploration would come to an end any time soon." He leaned in and kissed me and I returned the favor.
"I still love these lips of yours." His thumb slid across my bottom lip before kissing me again. He sighed and sat up looking at the sky. I looked at him, worried for the expression he was baring.
"Sora, I have to go." Those words made me sit up quickly and watch him stand to his feet.
"Riku, please don't go." I held his hand and held it to my face. He kneeled down to my level and stroked my head.
"I'll see you soon. Just remember I'll never leave you." He moved away from me walking backwards when I got up and ran after him.
"Riku, please come back!" I tried to reach for his hand, but I passed through him. Every time I tried to touch him my hands just easily passed through as if he were a hologram. I fell to the ground, crushed by my own dreams. How could I let my mind play tricks on me like this?
~Reality~
I felt a sudden sting on my wrist and I shot up from my dream, startling whoever it was beside me.
"Sora, are you okay?" That effeminate voice, it could be none other Joshua. But the main question was, where was I? I was in a bedroom, finally cleaned and wrapped in bandages from all that I endured in that hell hole. Joshua was trying to disinfect my wrist when I snatched it away from him. So that's what I felt. I tried to speak, but for some reason I couldn't make a sound. Have I lost my voice? I kept trying, but nothing would come out.
"I know what you're going to say, but is it wrong to help you? I got sick of what they were doing so I decided to step in." I don't trust this guy. After all he was the one who aided with killing Riku, so why would he help me? I think he has something in store for me later. I just sat here when he took my wrist again and began cleaning it. At least the pain and torture was over.
"I'll update you on everything that's been going on as of late, but right now I got business to take care of before I get back to you. You're welcome to go into the fridge and eat what you will, but I must warn you not to go outside or open the door. Don't even make the slightest sound." I tilted my head to question him and he sighed.
"Trust me it would be of your best interest to not go outside unless you want to go back to those buffoons." I gulped, but my throat was so sore that I didn't want to try again. On that note he left and I heard the door close outside the bedroom. So I'm just going to sit here and wait until he comes back to tell me everything? I wish I could contact someone, but there was no phone anywhere and my phone was gone forever. I guess I had no other choice, but to wait. What is he going to tell me?
